I HAVE commented before on . the varied uses to which retired buses are put but I was surprised that 150 are run by the National • Playbus Association all over the United Kingdom for selfexplanatory purposes. Four • more double-deckers have been given by the National Bus Co, and Joanna Lumley, the association's actress vicepresident, recently launched an appeal for sponsors for them.
A few days afterwards dozens of playbuses descended on York for the association's weekend annual rally and conference, and made a colourful scene in what was once the kingdom's second city.
The question of buying an old bus for use as a mobile day centre for the unemployed has been referred by Lewisham Trades Council to a steering corn mittee.
